Actually, people who live moral lives do not need to get involved in the problem of abortion in any way.

Well, don't be so greedy, then. Designate some of your abundance to help the people you say you are so concerned about.

So you feel it is your duty to eliminate people in these horrible classifications. Hitler was somewhat the same way with people he felt were undesirable in Europe.

Basing something on a Supreme Court decision means about as much as it did when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of slavery in Dred Scott. Lincoln turned the Supreme Court on its head when he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation and got the 13th Amendment passed by Congress. Dred Scott still remains the latest Supreme Court decision on slavery.

The Democratic Party started out as a pro-slavery party and is still a pro-slavery party. Now they are just in favor of everyone being slaves to the government.

Homosexuals now have a society where they are responsible for nothing, which has to support them because they are there, and in which they cannot be criticized. What is surprising to me is that there are not more people claiming to be homosexual.

It is not rare. There have been about 60,000,000 homicides of infants by abortion since 1973. And it is not safe. Women die all the time in abortion clinics. Look up Dr. Biskin sometime.

You cannot stop organized crime from enslaving people in prostitution, drug addiction, extortion, etc., even though slavery and involuntary servitude were outlawed by the 13th Amendment. So is it your idea that the 13th Amendment should be overturned also?

The Republican Party was a manifestation of pro-abolition segments of American society coming together after the failure of the Whig Party. The pro-slavery elements of American society were always associated with the Democratic Party, first as followers of Jeffersons' Republican-Democrat Party and then as Democrats after Andrew Jackson and Martin van Buren re-organized the party as a pro-slavery party after the English abolished slavery in England in 1834, and the National Republican supporters of John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay took the name of Whigs to show their support of abolition by taking the name of the party in England that accomplished abolition of slavery in English government.

Southerners were very military minded at the time and had left the Union with a skeleton army, taking most of the officers in the U.S. Army when the South seceded. But, as you say, Virginia and some other states were iffy about a war, including the former President of West Point, Robert E. Lee. I think your assessment of the reason for the attack on Ft. Sumter is correct. It was to get a war started. It had nothing to do with the fort itself. It had no military value either way.

Lincoln had no way to supply the forts in the South, and everyone knew it. They would have had to be abandoned if the South had not been so anxious for war.
